I just got my qtek 9100 and it came installed with pocket msn. Is there anyway I can remove this as I dont have a hotmail account and dont want the hotmail inbox. .... or is there another way of removing just the inbox.
I much prefer agile for msn anyway so dont realy need pocket msn anyway.
Any help would be appreciated.
hi buddy
try the attached file - got it from my wizard extended rom!
cheers, lutz

Its in the Windows folder and some thing like msnmsgr.exe - can't tell you for sure as I dont have it with me.
Just to finish off I placed a copy in the start menu and removed from the today screen the pocket MSN thing.
Terran
Thanks for the repsonses.
I did a hard reset and didnt start the pocket msn software, so it didnt create a hotmail inbox. I've removed it from the program icons.
The messenger software is called instmsgr.exe but if you use that it still creates the hotmail inbox.
Cheers
i too would like to know how to use msn without it making the hotmail inbox. also i'd like to get rid of the outlook email one but i could live with that staying but 2 inboxes i dont use starts to get anoying
I just use agile messenger which is free and does the same job. In fact it goes one better by including AOL, ICQ and yahoo messenger.

I simply made a shortcut in SPB Pocket Plus to a file called..... instmsrg.exe which is in the Windows folder.
To get rid of the mailbox, i guess you could hard reset, create the shortcut to instmsgr.exe then never open the Pocket MSN so the mailbox never gets made. As suggested above.

as shah said it still creates the hotmail account as soon as you sign in using the msn software. oh well guess i'll just have to use a 3rd party app for instant messaging
dean
right figured out how to remove it. go into settings / memory and stop msn and messaging. (this'll stop you having to reset)
load up a reg editor, I used resco explorer. goto HKLM/software/microsoft/inbox/svc then rename the "hotmail" key to "-hotmail" exit resco and press the power button to standby your device and save the reg changes. now if you go into messages the hotmail will be gone.
i've only just figured this out so not sure if there are any minor side effects, let me know if you notice any.
Thanks
That seems to do the trick.
Need just to decide whether to use agile or instmsgr ... The latter integrates better with the os but I think I read somewhere that it uses more data so higher gprs costs ???
I just tried this on the new rom, and it denied me access to the whole messaging package.
No Texts, nothing.
So I'm just undo-ing the change.
How can I get rid of the process called pMSNServer.exe which takes up around 300KB of my precious RAM??

Not to be contrary, but pMSNServer.exe should only be using 56kb of resident memory. I haven't seen it run since I did the following from a few posts up (though I deleted the whole key rather than renaming it):

I already deleted that key as well - I don't have the MSN Inbox in my MobileOutlook...
However, the pMSNService.exe is still running and takes up around 300KB...
which app you use to see how much space does the msn program use when running ?
thanx
I am using SKTools, but there are also many other memory managers...

Dear Lutzh,
I ran this cab on my Toshiba G900 WM6P PPC phone, to remove WLM, and it asked where to install, I chose Storage Card. Now on card I have folder Tools with a file CeSetup in it which does not have a file association. In Add/Remove programs I have nothing new that can be removed. In /windows I still have the WLM files. Did I do something wrong, what should I do next?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro, but am currently using the latest Vodafone ROM.
This doesn't have the MSN (Hotmail/Messenger) Utility.
I've gone to the MSN website, and they're charging for the file, does anyone have the CAB file for it?
I'm NOT asking for an illegal copy, as I have a T-Mobile MDA which comes with it anyway, just want to know if anyone has the CAB, or knows how I can extract it from the T-Mobile ROM.
Cheers!
You could always change to the most recent t-mobile rom?

I wouldn't go near it. I use the dopod Radio ROM which is 1.11.00, and haven't had a dropped call since.
I've found other ROMs and ExtROMs a lot faster, as there's more free memory, if you try them you'll see what I mean :-D The only good thing about the T-Mobile ROMS is that it has MSN on it.
If you can't find the MSN file, try Agile Messenger. It is free and a lot faster than the built-in MSN on my QTEC ROM. Plus, you can use it for other accounts, not just hotmail. Take a look here: http://agilemobile.com/downloads.html

I've got that, but with the MSN one I could have my Hotmail account showing up in Messaging :-/ Any ideas how I can add that? It only lets me add a POP3 account if I do it manually.
Try manually executing \Windows\pmsnlauncher.exe or \Windows\instmsgr.exe
Hey,
I'm slightly confused here...
I have an MDA PRO and I don't have MSN. Should I? It doesn't appear to be on the CDs that came with the device either, and those two files in /windows are not present on my device.
Is there any way I can go about getting this as I'm on T-mobile without paying for it?
Cheers,
Dave
These two files are in the main OS ROM and all the ROM I've seen have them. In the case of vodaphone ROM, it just removes the shortcut and it can be manually launched. MDA Pro could be a different story.
After flicking around on google, i have found a personally tested method of getting msn messenger working in WM5.
It fully supports the rotation that occurs when you open the keyboard on the TyTN.
http://node13.org/pda/
Go here (my own site), and do the following:
1. Connect your WM5 device to your pc.
2. Run msn22.exe (Will installed the PPC2002 version of MSN Messenger)
3. Run msn23.exe (Will instal the PPC2003SE version with the latest updates)
4. Reset your device
Voila, you now have a nice working copy of MSN Messenger.
Enjoy!
Just out of curiosity:
What's the difference between "MSN Messenger on Pocket PC" and "Pocket Messenger"?
Thanks for that!

For some reasons, every time I tried to run your msn23 from my computer (connected to the device of course), it showed the InstallShield 1645: and it stopped there. I have also tried msn22 and the result is the same. BTW, I have done the unlock CID already if it would matter at all.
Any suggestions?

Well now that's a tricky question... welllll ok yes we are, at least I am. The one that's like the old MSN for mobile but not quite if you know what I mean!! And the one that shows as Live.com on this link http://ideas.live.com/, In case there's confusion "MSN Messenger is now Windows Live Messenger" hence the use of the name Live.com.
Mike
you try this agilemessenger
in my tytn it works very well:
- he automatically rotates with the opening of the keyboard
- it notices all the emoticons
- it works with msn, icq, yaooh etc. accounts
- allows to make a photo with my TYTN and to send it
- and it also has the push to talk!!!
It's phenomenalanything
...else other than microsoft!!!
Enjoy

him, agile messenger is fabulous! to try for believing!
Is Agile Messenger really free? On their web site they only have 7 day trial versions after which you pay and through the nose...

Try not to get too hooked unless you want to be spending up big.
Regards
Free on WM5 "for the moment"
As it is slightly buggey or at least was, seems much more stable these days.
Yes is Free!!!
Where is it, it says that it's not available yet, the messenger.
Only windows live homepage.
Thank you.

Anyone know of a way I can use it without syncing my contacts?
I don't want it even touching my contact list as it adds all these contacts which I don't want on my device and when I remove them here it echoes the changes on my real desktop contact list. Luckily I had a contact list backed up on my desktop pc so I restored it.
So...anyone know how I can use Live Messenger Beta without letting it touch my contacts?
I guess you could disable the syncing of contacts altogether on ActiveSync?
It would stop any contacts syncing but it's the only thing that really comes to mind at the moment
It's a part of WLM, and I don't think you can disable it.

When I installed WLM it installed two programmes on start menu:
Windows Live Messenger and
Windows Live
If I select Windows Live it opens a screen which has Menu option. Within this is an Options setting that then leads to an option called "Sync Options" with this there are tick boxes to deselect synching contacts and e-mail.
Perhaps that might solve your problem?
Mike
That option is actually 'Sync Contacts and Messenger'.
All I want is the second part of that option...I want to sync messenger so it works but not my contacts.
I personally havent sync`d my contacts yet...but looking a bit deeper into this matter i found some registry keys that might help you.
Just open the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\Windows Live\Contacts\" there are a few options you can change. Maybe if you set the value "CanDoSync" to "0" it might actually stop syncing your contacts.

I just found this in a thread over in the Wizard forums.
Looks like maybe you don't HAVE to sync contacts anymore...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I just thought I'd come an taunt all you none beta testers! j/k
The new mobile client is now out!!! It's available on the Microsoft Connect website, and it's pretty damn good...
Feel free to ask any questions about it, i'll gladly answer.
Some of the new features include:
- Contant sync isn't compulsory any more!!! although the contact sync is more intelligent now, and it's much simpler an faster to sort out the initial sync.
- LARGE speed boost.
- New today/home screen applet (Displays search box, and MSN avatar and contact info (All is optional))
- Windows Live config screen.
- Contact avatars (you can have your own now).
- Personal Message support.
- Original MSN Messenger seems to be left un-touched.

So any ideas when this version will be available.
I saw on that thread there are a few people experiancing the same problem. that the their msn contacts are getting added to thier device address book, which i find very annoying. and when you delete of the device it also deletes the contacts from your messenger list
if i was to get hold off msn messenger the one that worked on pocket pc 2002/2003, would it still work?
Dont suppose anyone would have it??
Where to download Live Messenger
Where can I download Live Messenger for the Hermes I have been looking and simply can not find it.
I saw on the connect website from Microsoft that there is a new version out since 16-12-2006. Has anyone been able to download this version already? If so, can someone give a review ?
Thanks
I've just applied to the beta program
hopefully I'm allowed in.
same i have also just joined. see what happens.
Could you guys upload the installer to the xda-devoloper ftp when you recieve it?
Somehow I'm not allowed to sign up for the beta. Perhaps it's the firewall here at school.
What are the latest news about it ?
Is this "contact sync problem" solved in this version and is this availaibe for download ?,
The versions I've tried you're still forced to sync with no other options
Plus theres been lots of problems even getting push with hotmail...the option just won't stick to "when they arrive" but stays on manual sync
is there an answer for this yet?
i would love to use windows live messenger, but hate getting some 250 contacts added to my contacts (in my phone)
/timmy
Just spent hours re-editing my contacts cos of live! eager to find a way of stopping it syncing but allowing me into messenger!
well is there a program that lets you put contacts into groups so that i could just filter all the live contacts?
a free one? or you know uhh one with a key?
falum: im the same as you, its a bastard to fix..
i wish this could be hacked at the moment, ive also found the WLM is pretty resource hungry, anyone else found this?

Alright, I flashed the latest Dopod firmware on my 838Pro, and decided to configure MSN. But for some reason I had no option not to sync the contacts to my contact list, and now my contact list is all messed up with all the random emails and ****, and I can't even organise it to show phone contacts on top, and the rest below.
So how the hell do I remove all this crap or is there a way to just show SIM contact list? I can't even install the cab to select multiple contacts.
yeah ms really screwed up with that one

When you run the setup for Live Messenger, you get an option "Sync Messenger Contacts with Outlook" or something similar. Just don't select it. It does require removal and reinstallation of the Live Messeger though.

I want to use Live Messenger, but if I disable that they refuse to let me run the Messenger.
If you have your contacts set to save to your SIM card, they're going to be quite nasty looking in the phone and Messenger won't be able to work with them. Judging by what the original poster said, I think this is the real problem here.
As far as Messenger goes, just don't use it. Install OctroTalk, which has MSN, AIM, Yahoo, and Google messengers built in.

bah!!!!!!!!!
I decided to add the msn contacts .. so i could use the stupid WLM.. so i add them to my contacts and delete them one by one.. little do i know..i also delete them off the msn server.. now i have noone in my contact list when i login on my pc as well..
Smart idea! any ideas on how to get them back?

This issue is killing me too. After exhaustive googling, it seems that there is no way around it now. I can't tolerate all the random hotmail contacts from my buddy list stuck in my contacts. Guess I'll just have to use something else. Really wish I could use the functionalities of WLM though. Freaking M$ can't make anything right.
You could always download the older stand-alone MSN Messenger software and use it instead of Windows Live. It's not quite as nice but I'm guessing most of you are just using the text chat functionality of the software anyway.

On your pc, goto tools -> options or whatever, find the page where you can see which you have blocked and which you have not, then right cick on the top one on the unblocked ones, and select add to contacts (or something similliar)
then nr.2 on the list and so on
I'm not even bother useing MSN live.. Just go to the standard MSN for now... Waiting for them to find a way to filter your msn live on your contract list.... Someone go complain... ahahah

Would you mind repeating what you said there.. with WAY more detail? I want to be sure I understand what you're saying... sounds like... create a group in your MSN account for your contacts. Move everyone into this group, and then when you launch WLM, it creates that same group in your contact list and only puts all of those e-mail addresses into that group. Is that right?
